    how to clean baked on black gunk?

    Ammonia and Mr Clean Magic Eraser pad? Soak in very hot sudsy water with as much ammonia as you dare, but not enough to create uncomfortable fumes, then use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser pad. That’s what I’d do.... (And set it outside to soak, or cover the sink with a big towel while soaking, if...

    Maytag refrigerator help?

    Thanks For the advice JL; I was hoping you would weigh in. And CW, gee I dunno. Makes sense if, when they branched out into refrigeration, it was part of one of the many acquisitions that played a role in their ultimate demise. All I know for sure is that it is a Maytag fridge many many...

    Maytag refrigerator help?

    I can see that! Perfectly understandable why someone would go that route with that refrigerator. It’s been unplugged for quite some time. Still does the same if I plug it back in. It goes on, there is a click by the cooling fins in the back actually, not in front, and then a few minutes...

    Maytag refrigerator help?

    Thanks for the suggestions But a friend brought me to reality with his reaction: 25 years old?! Throw it out! I had it for so long, without ever having a repair, that I was subconsciously assuming it would be a part of my life forever. Not! Time to let it go. RIP. And it’s a shame...

    Maytag refrigerator help?

    My 25 or so year old Newton IA Maytag top freezer refrigerator is making a fairly frequent single click noise I’ve never heard before, on the left side right in front. Sounds like some kind of relay is cycling on and off? And the ice maker stopped working too. Ice in the ice maker itself was...

    speed queen new front loader shake

    It will be somewhat noisy when it is balancing the load and its balls. This process involves speeding up and slowing down and speeding up again so the balls adjust, and during that the tub will sway horizontally or vertically. You might be washing loads that are too small. Loosely fill the...

    P&G Strikes Again - Downsizing Continues

    Not surprising When I switched from a full fill top loader to a front loader, I was stunned at the difference in detergent usage — a quarter to a third of a cap in the full fill TL down to just a dab in the FL. I thought, hmmmm, as more and more people get HE machines, the detergent...

    No soft water. :-(

    Thanks all Well a Culligan tech called me this morning and said the E2 error code means the motor/piston are jammed, it will need to be rebuilt, and chances are 99% all parts will be on the truck when my service appointment arrives. He said meanwhile I could try unplugging it and plugging it...

    No soft water. :-(

    Noticed the water softener running this morning. Called Culligan. They advised to close the bypass valve. That stopped the water from running. However, they are not coming out for service until the Wednesday after this. Meanwhile no soft water. Last time I needed service years ago, they...

    Speed Queen Front Loader and Soft Water

    Something else Just before a rinse, the SQ starts the water running while the tub is still spinning to flush off suds that accumulated from the clothes-squeezing action of the spin, and then it continues to run the water a bit before closing the drain to fill, so that it flushes out the sump...

    Speed Queen Front Loader and Soft Water

    Rinses great I have a SQ front loader, I am picky about thorough rinsing, and it does a great job rinsing and getting rid of oversuds conditions. The extra rinse options are great. When I first got it, I still had an old school top loader. Out of curiosity I took a load out of the SQ FL and...

    About That Persil 2 in 1 ProClean with "Odor Fighter"

    I had a bottle It was effective at eliminating odors but I didn’t like the scent. It’s very different from the Original scent. And it oversudsed badly. So I gave it to someone at work. From the ingredient list it seems to have more alcohol than the other Persil formulas. German Persil...

    An old Maytag

    My first washer! It was beautiful. But to be honest, I was very disappointed with it. It was still very heavy and shiny compared to WP at the time, but Maytag’s quality was gone. It took a long time to figure out that an unnerving noise was a loose motor mount rivet. The orbital...
